[Vwdiesel] Water pump?

[Val Christian]

With or without AC, the altenator, and the freon pump (if equipped),
get pulled; the bracket gets pulled, bolts through the water pump
houseing get pulling, and two bolts up near and kinda below the 
IP get pulled.  You can do it with standard tools.

I don't remember the specifics, but I've done it many times, and 
on cars with AC and PS, as well as those without.  

Don't touch the IP.  (grin)
